Nancy was featured in the Contributor's column, San Antonio Woman magazine:
“Writing Book Shelf connects me to what I enjoy most, people and books,” she said. She highlights extraordinary writers and teachers and applauds librarians and store managers who form reading groups. She also reviews her favorite books. She has written Book Shelf, a bi-monthly three-page column for over a year.
She earned a BBA and MA in English literature and attended Rice University’s Publishing Program. As Author of Jose Vives-Atsara: His Life and His Art, the suspense novel Nine Days to Evil, the mystery/romantic comedy Forever Fatal (planned as first in a series), and a poem broadcast on NPR, she appreciates the effort it takes to create stories that captivate readers. She loves to hear from Book Shelf readers: “I know I’ve found another book person.”
